Hey! I'm Gryff, I'm a game programmer working at 24 Bit Games (Recently acquired by Annapurna 🎉). I've worked on some cool stuff you might have played like Neon White and most recently, Cocoon.
I'd really like to find the same sense of community here as on the other site, so if you're in games, hi!

if we keep rewarding these cheap films, made to circumvent unionized feature animators by exploiting non-unionized vfx animators- many of which ARE feature animators too- they're just going to make more, let's learn from Disney okay

Consider this another plea to please NOT go see the "How to Train Your Dragon" live action shot-by-shot remake.
Just watch the animated movie. It's one of the best ones out there and it's perfect as it is.
We have to stop encouraging Hollywood to keep making these pieces of trash.

When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired.
Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way.
Unions are good.

Not so long ago, racists put a pause of being so public with their racism. But Donald Trump has given them license to be more open again.

Gaza's population was 2.3 million when Israel's genocide started. The US president is suggesting Israel continue the ethnic cleansing of all survivors that remain - which he says is 1.5 million Palestinians. Can anybody do the math on that because I'm hearing the US president say 800K were massacred

I really hate to put this on the organizers so late in the process, who have been so kind to me, but the trump administration is starting to directly erase and target minority groups I'm in, and I just can't handle the stress of going. I'm sorry

It is the position of the administration that a post saying “Free Palestine” or talking about diversity should ruin your life, but a post calling to hate people from India should not. That’s their moral sensibility. Nazi scum.
He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job.
The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist.
His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job.
Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.
